Put on your stretchy pants. You know the ones. The ones you wear around January 2nd. You know what we’re talking about. Because you must, must, MUST go here and eat everything on the menu. Chef Tara Punzone deserves an Oscar for Best Vegan Italian. That’s not a category this year? Make. It. One. Brunch, lunch, dinner, it doesn’t matter: Mange, mange, MANGE at Pura Vita.

Jim’s Choice: Pizza is my life. The pizza here is life-altering. And the garlic parm potato wedges, too, soooo good. Get a pizza and put the garlic parm potato wedges on top of it. Life is short. Do it.

Steve’s Choice: Start with the mushroom lentil meat(free)balls – smoky and the sauce is spot on perfect. Then don’t waste time asking what everyone else is having at your table and/or questioning your server what they recommend, just order the Carbonara. ORDER. THE. CARBONARA. Then send me your hand-written thank you when you finish. You’re welcome.

Address:  8274 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood

Parking: Can be tricky as Santa Monica Blvd spots fill up fast. Try a side street but mind the times and signs so you don’t get a ticket. Or just Uber it over.
